Visit the NuVision website to read about their free SDK for this purpose.
Their system uses existing DD versions to provide page flipped stereo on any
Win95 system and uses the existing video card providing it's reasonably
good. Read their information about specifics. Most glasses could access the
page flipped image even if they originally have been used with interlacing
software. It is no longer necessary to restrict yourself to 50% of the image
as with interlaced formats. Upgrade to page flipping if you've been using
interlaced.

Newer LCS glasses will all conform to a common standard but if you have
glasses made prior to this standard, you have to check out hardware specific
compatibility factors. Their URL is...
